HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.3 and HP OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 for Integrity Servers SPD 82.35.14
Applications running on one or more nodes in an
OpenVMS Cluster system share resources in a coor-
dinated manner. While updating data, the OpenVMS
Cluster software synchronizes access to shared re-
sources, preventing multiple processes on any node in
the cluster from uncoordinated access to shared data.
This coordination ensures data integrity during concur-
rent update transactions.
Mixed-architecture and mixed-version clusters that con-
tain both Alpha systems and Integrity server systems
are supported.
As of OpenVMS Version 8.3, cluster satellite boot sup-
port on Integrity server systems is supported. This fea-
ture provides support for Integrity-to-Integrity satellite
booting. Cross-architecture booting (booting an Integrity
satellite node from an Alpha boot server and vice-versa)
is not supported.
Refer to the HP OpenVMS Cluster Software Software
Product Description (SPD 29.78.xx) for more informa-
tion.
HP Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS
HP Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS Alpha and In-
tegrity servers performs disk mirroring operations us-
ing a redundant array of independent disks (RAID-1)
storage strategy. Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS is
available for Alpha and Integrity server systems as both
a separately licensed product, as well as a component
of the Enterprise Operating Environment (EOE) on In-
tegrity servers.
Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS provides high data
availability for disk devices by ensuring against data
loss that results from media deterioration or controller or
device failure. This prevents storage subsystem com-
ponent failures from interrupting system or application
tasks.
Refer to the HP Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS Soft-
ware Product Description (SPD 27.29.xx) for more in-
formation.
HP RMS Journaling for OpenVMS
HP RMS Journaling for OpenVMS Alpha and Integrity
servers is available as layered products and as a part
of the Enterprise Operating Environment (EOE) on In-
tegrity servers. Journaling enables a system manager,
user, or application to maintain the data integrity of RMS
files in the event of a number of failure scenarios. These
journaling products protect RMS file data from becoming
lost or inconsistent.
RMS Journaling provides the following three types of
journaling:
• After-image journaling. Allows users to reapply
modifications that have been made to a file. This
type of journaling allows users to recover files that
are inadvertently deleted, lost, or corrupted.
• Before-image journaling. Allows users to reverse
modifications that have been made to a file. This
type of journaling allows users to return a file to a
previously known state.
• Recovery-unit journaling. Allows users to maintain
transaction integrity. A transaction can be defined as
a series of file updates on one or more files. If any
failure occurs during the transaction, recovery-unit
journaling rolls back the partially completed transac-
tion to its starting point.
The binary kit for RMS Journaling ships with the
OpenVMS Alpha and Integrity server distribution kits.
To run the software, customers must purchase a license
and documentation. Refer to the RMS Journaling for
OpenVMS Software Product Description (SPD 27.58.xx)
for more information.
HP Advanced Server for OpenVMS Alpha
HP Advanced Server for OpenVMS is supported on
OpenVMS Alpha systems only. Advanced Server V7.3B
for OpenVMS is the only version supported on Open-
VMS Alpha Version 8.3.

erating system (NOS) compatible with Microsoft net-
working technology. The software lets you establish
OpenVMS systems as servers to provide Windows
desktop users (including Windows and Windows XP
Professional) easy and efficient access to OpenVMS file
and print services. Desktop users can use Microsoft
products and utilities such as Windows Explorer to ac-
cess these resources shared over the network. Ad-
vanced Server for OpenVMS can function as a file and
print server for a small, isolated community of users or
as the foundation of a large network distributed over a
wide geographical area. The Advanced Server software
also provides a flexible system for network administra-
tion and security, for both wide area networks (WANs)
and local area networks (LANs).
